Calculate 42: First, let's calculate the value of 42. Since 42 means 4 multiplied by itself, we have 4×4, which equals 16.
Add 16s: Now, we have the equation with four identical terms added together: 16+16+16+16. Adding these together gives us 16×4, which equals 64.
Express 64 as 2n: The equation now is 64=2n. To find the value of n, we need to express 64 as a power of 2. Since 64 is 2 raised to the 6th power (26=64), we can say that n equals 6.
Determine n value: We have determined that 2n is equal to 64 when n is 6, so the value of n in the equation 42+42+42+42=2n is 6.
